| [Nettime-bold] Re: [nyc-geeks] Palestine Party Footage is REAL! |
Well, broadcast media was never about information but about manipulation. That's why we have Internet. I never watch any network TV (even CNN and BBC) without a sarcastic reserve. I am trained well by years of watching TV news in former Yugoslavia (muting the tone and playing punk music loudly over it). ivo Date sent: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 14:12:47 -0700 (PDT) From: Elaine Walker <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [nyc-geeks] Palestine Party Footage is REAL! To: [email protected], [email protected] Copies to: [email protected] Yes, but... a frend of a friend was THERE in Palestine when our media was filming that (believe it or not) and says it was totally unrelated. It was a party of sorts for something completely different. I'll try to find that and pass it along... Sorry I don't have it now. So, maybe don't jump to conclusions. -Elaine --- Invent Yourself <[email protected]> wrote: > Please pass this down with the same fervor that you've all passed around > the original tale! > > Cutting straight to the chase, no, CNN did not air decade-old footage of > Palestinians dancing in the streets.
